RELAXING!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our time at this spot. Small yet big enough for the 2 of us. Being so close to the beach was great, if you needed anything from your place it wasn’t a bother to go back.

We liked the property and the location. We were not expecting to have a mini fridge. The mini fridge limited what we could keep in the room. The beach was quiet. Still lots of devastation from the hurricane. We visited shops and some had been open just a couple of months. We did enjoy our trip. If you visit this area try to support these shops and businesses.

Bare Minimum Cabana Beach Club – Disappointing Stay, Disorganized Check-In, & Subpar Accommodations

Our stay at Cabana Beach Club was a disappointment from the start. After traveling all day, we arrived to find no key packet at the designated pickup spot. The after-hours line was useless—the agent couldn’t find my reservation and admitted she was just an answering service. Nearly an hour later, someone finally called and vaguely directed us to a different property next door, which had never been mentioned.The condo was tiny and poorly equipped. The “kitchen” was just a kitchenette with no stove—an issue since I’d pre-ordered 200 in groceries expecting to cook. Essentials were missing: no kitchen knife, few mismatched dishes, no extra trash bags. The bed was uncomfortable, the AC only cooled the bedroom, and a thin interior door let in every conversation and bathroom noise from the unit next door. Sleep was nearly impossible.Though the pool and beach were close, the beach was rough and full of shells—not ideal for kids. We weren’t even given the laundry room code and had to borrow one from other guests.Only one trash bag was provided for a multi-day stay, which pretty much sums it up—bare minimum service. For the price, this rental fell WAY short. Sanibel Arms West offered far better value, comfort, and service—so that’s where we’ll return. RVA Rentals, Cabana Beach Club, and VRBO need to do better. Guests deserve more than this.

Lovely place

I loved being at the Cabana Beach club....it was just me and it was absolutely perfect. A very short walk to the beach and only a .5 mile walk to Harry's corner store for necessities. The unit was very nice and very clean. The ceiling fans could use a dusting but truly, it was a lovely place to stay.

Perfect beachfront getaway!

We loved this unit & all it had to offer. Only downside was lack of a king size bed being that we are taller people. Otherwise, the location & amenities were perfect! Everything was included even beachfront loungers, beach umbrellas, & beach towels. I would definitely stay here again & rent a larger unit with my family.

Good place for 2

This place was exactly how it was described. I don’t know how 4 people would stay there. It is small, but was perfect for my husband and I. We enjoy eating out so a big kitchen wasn’t necessary for us. Great location close to the beach. Very clean and location on Longboat was great! It was a quiet spot for us to relax. Definitely recommend!!

Great 4th!

Check in was so easy! Just pick up keys and go. The condo as a little smaller than I expected, but it worked wonderfully. There were three of us for a long weekend. The condo was very clean. We loved the closeness to the pool and beach. The beach area was clean and quiet. We actually had a manatee swim right up to us! We were able to go to local restaurants and shops. The only suggestion I would make is to have a serving bowl and serving tray. When we bbqed it would have been nice to carry things to the grill in one trip. Thank you for having us! We loved the stay! I hope to stay again.

Need hooks or bath racks in bathroom for towels to be hung up. cute place but can use some updating.

Fabulous Location; Property Needs Some TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Positives: Can’t beat the location; on the beach, screened patio, good size. RVA manager Christy very nice as well as staff; easy to work with. Negatives: Not clean, furnishings old and poor quality, terrible mattress and pillows (bring your own), no drawers in kitchen so silverware placed under sink with cleaning supplies, bathroom needs work... basically, the unit needs an overhaul and property grounds need better care. Once unit is updated, we would recommend.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: WE enjoyed our stay at Cabana Beach Club"We enjoyed our stay at Cabana Beach Club. We prefer smaller complexes and this was the perfect size. The condo was clean and in good condition. The unit is located next to parking lot and swimming pool. We had a family staying above us and we never heard them at all. The complex was clean and maintained nicely. Our only issue is the split unit AC is located in the bedroom, right next to the bed. The unit is noisy which makes sleeping difficult and you can't shut the bedroom door if someone is using the sofa bed because they would not get any AC.The beach is beautiful and a 1 minute walk from condo. There are some good restaurants and a little market near by and we thought the location was ideal. Overall we thought the property was great.

Easter weekend stay - 5b

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property location is wonderful and quiet. The pool was in need of a cleaning and the property manager kindly let us use the much larger & nicer one next door. 5b was not a great unit. Better than a hotel but dark. Bed was very comfortable, pull out couch not so much. There is no aircon in the living area where the couch is so keeping that room cool was a challenge. The mini-split unit in the bedroom was extremely loud. Slept with earplugs. The unit was also very dark. Downstairs and outside every window was dense foliage so you had zero view. My friends stayed in 7b and it was amazing - so the property is great but your stay is very unit dependent.

Great location uncomfortable

The unit has an excellent location and the owner communicated very efficiently at first until I messaged re:sand inside the pull out couch on arrival, then I received no response. The unit was fairly clean overall but there was sand around the couch and inside of it. The pull out mattress had a sheet on it covered in sand. The living furniture needs to be replaced , the couch sinks down on one side and the chair is old with dark stained arms and leans forward. The bed itself was comfortable but has a plastic cover on it and had 4 sheets which slid around all night. The unit is older which is fine but needs updated badly. The TVs were nice ..The mops buckets etc are left in the patio by the doorway which looks trashy. The heating/ac is located in the bedroom so If you shut the bedroom door there is a drastic difference in temperature in the living area. I was a bit disappointed in the unit but it does sit steps from one of the best beaches in Florida

Good renovation, cheap doors and BUGS

As said, the renovation was done well. Cute little place; however, there was only a thin door separating our condo from the condo next door and we could hear everything, which means they could hear everything. It made it feel less private and honestly, a little cheap. Also, there were these little bugs everywhere. Not sure exactly what they were - mites, gnats - but they were all over the sink and counter tops, they got into the food and the trash and just everything. Really unclean feeling and have never had this issue anywhere else we’ve ever stayed in Florida. The last negative was the air conditioning unit. It was so old or so broken because it made so much noise as it turned on and off. I wouldn’t normally complain about that but it was right next to the bed, which made it really difficult to sleep. Other positives, the lanai was nice and ideal location for the beach - one minute walk from the condo.

Mixed feelings

Cleanliness is so important. Black mold on the shower floor and loose moldy tiles! No bathroom fan and when you open the window in the shower to vent, the exterior window/screens are filthy. No hair dryer. Living room chair has worn dirty, gross, arm rests, and is broken/tips forward. Porch is dirty in the corners, dirty fan and a filthy 5 gallon bucket, with gross plastic mats and dirty broom/mop in the corner to look at while you have your morning coffee. Old, flat pillows, packaging and an old tv in the closet. Throw that stuff out! Small bed had cheap sweaty bedding and a plastic mattress cover. Oversized top sheet & old, heavy, miss-matched blanket with extra sheet to hide it slid around, came undone and made sleep difficult. King sized pillows had no pillow cases! A/C is in the bedroom ONLY. Check in is confusing, you have to go to a separate location two miles away to pick up a paper packet that’s unnecessary. Inconvenient if you take an Uber. BUT the porch right across from the lovely heated pool was fantastic. And the walk to the beach is amazing. The BEACH! Location is fantastic. The landscaping is unprofessional with dead stuff remaining, and weird exposed soaker hoses on several gardens. Beautiful large coconut trees. Nice beach chairs. Free laundry with new washer/dryer. Very private feel to the beach and resort. A good place if you don’t need sleep or be clean.

Great location, spacious, but environment not as advertised.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Positives: Great location and spacious for two persons. Negatives: The RVA website advertises; "The attention to detail, from the manicured grounds, will be evident from the moment you arrive." We did not find this to be true. On the interior (& Lanai), the essentials such as counters, sinks, and toilets were clean; however, the remainder needs a deep cleaning. There is a mixture of sand and 'dust-bunnies' around corners and edges in all the rooms. White window frames and glass need a thorough cleaning. The shower floor tile grout is in poor condition. The refrigerator was sticking out well past the counter. It wouldn't slide in, so I pulled it out to find unfinished tile causing the refrig. legs to catch. I used a little lift muscle and set it right. Judging from the dirty floor then exposed, it had been like that for a long time. The adjoining unit common door is not sound insulated. We love babies, but not their crying at 3:00 am like they're in the room with us. Was too soft for us, but good quality. On the exterior, the website pictures show fresh paint. It must be an old picture. The buildings are in need of fresh paint and a solid cleaning of the white shutters to get the grime off. The downspout clip, visible while sitting on the Lanai, is broken and just hanging. Although some newer plantings are attended to and beautiful, most of the plants need trimming and TLC. Some dead palms were hanging in some of the trees. The wood fence that separates the RVA property to the south is missing a board and looks tired. It is leaning from pressure from the overgrown plantings. The nice sandy driveway has potholes in it at the entry point to the Gulf Blvd. The air conditioning units are old-style and loud when they cycle on/off. Investing in some new quieter heat pump units would be a huge improvement and save energy costs. Overall, this place has great potential, but it currently feels neglected and not as well maintained as other LBK properties.

Understanding , kindness ???

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Due to medical reason, that appear 2 days before ( hospitalization) my reservation I had to cancel, it was easy with the rental for the car, easy for my plane ticket, even with the hotel that I had for the night before my reservation at Cabana Beach, but even with a note from the doctor, I could received a remboursement from RVA...So very disappointed by the lack of understanding , comprehension, or open mind from RVA. I am a regular visitor at Cabana beach( from the last 15 year), I loved this place, but I use to rent directly with a owner.
